Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a method of navigation around documents represented by identifiers displayed on a viewing screen. Navigation commands control the position of a cursor also displayed on the screen, independently of the position of the identifiers. The identifiers automatically scroll over the screen as a function of the position of the cursor on the screen thus defining the direction of scrolling. When the cursor is positioned on an identifier, the latter is highlighted and the user can enter a command to activate the document, for example to reproduce it. Advantageously, the identifiers scroll over concentric carrousels, each carrousel containing identifiers of documents having common properties. The invention also relates to a viewing appliance able to execute a navigation software module.
